Attention

TYPO3 v7 has reached its end-of-life November 30th, 2018 and is not maintained by the community anymore. Looking for a stable version? Use the version switch on the top left.

There is no further ELTS support. It is recommended that you upgrade your project and use a supported version of TYPO3.

Objects rendering content

• IMAGE for the rendering of an image.

  lib.logo = IMAGE
  lib.logo {
          file = fileadmin/logo.gif
          file.width = 200
          stdWrap.typolink.parameter = 1
  }
  

  The result is an image based on file logo.gif with width of 200 pixels and a link to the page 1.

• TEXT is for the rendering of standard text or the content of fields.

  lib.motto = TEXT
  lib.motto.value = Inspiring people to share
  lib.motto.wrap = <div class="highlight">|</div>
  

• FILES is used to retrieve information about one or more files and perform some rendering with it.

  lib.banner = FILES
  lib.banner {
          references {
                  table = pages
                  fieldName = media
                  uid.data = page:uid
          }
          renderObj = IMAGE
          renderObj {
                  file.import.data = file:current:uid
                  file.treatIdAsReference = 1
                  file.width = 500
                  wrap = <div class="banner">|</div>
          }
  }
  

  This code will probably look a pretty abstract to you right now. What it does is to reference the images that were related to a given page in the "media" field. It takes each of these images and resizes them to a maximum width of 500 pixels. Each image is wrapped in a <div> tag.

• TEMPLATE replaces markers in a HTML template with content coming from the TYPO3 CMS database, as was discussed in the "Insert content in a HTML template" chapter.
